Understanding Market Rules and Extra Time Bets

Depending on if the rules state differently then follows that all bets in the soccer market should be placed for 90 minutes of play according to the match guides as well as any additional time due to injury or stoppage. There is extra-time and penalty shoot-outs which should not be included in the time when placing bets. However, there is an exception – matches that are scheduled for duration time that runs around 60, 70, 80 or 120 minutes- then the competition that’s agreed on by both sides prior to kick-off. In this case, the match is played the traditional way with two halves, therefore, all bets will need to be settled by the end of the game length including any time added on by the referee.

When it comes to ‘Extra-Time’ bets, they apply to 30 minutes of game play. This is decided by the match officials. The played time as well as any additional injury or stoppage time is all included when betting. Once again extra-time and penalty shoot-outs are not included within the time. In ‘Extra-Time’ bets are only for extra-time period. Because of this market the scoring must be 0-0 at the start of the extra-time period. This means no points should have been accumulated during the traditional game.

Traditional Game Time and First Goal Bets

Where it deems that over 90% of the scheduled match time has been completed and the referee call game before the match’s time is up, then that result will be used to settle all bets. If a match starts but is postponed, then that match is stated as not being completed by 23:59 on the match start date. Therefore, all markets will be void and the match will be rescheduled and will be played within three days of the initial match date.

There are rules for the ‘time of first goal’ bets also known as ‘First Goal Odds’ bets. These are completed in the first half and set to last approximately 45 minutes and stoppage time is not included. For these, betters should follow the “0 -10 Minutes” selection covers. This means that the first 10 minutes of the match are bet times. Meaning when the clock runs from 0:00 and hits 10:00. Same goes for bets placed on the “11 – 20 Minutes” selection. 10-minute short bets work the same way for each of the time selections during the 45-minute first goal bets.
